1LE vs. Trick Flow, What one to buy?

1LE = 48$

TF= Not sure kinda looking for prices!

What ones better, or better for the money?

any votes?

TF will probly look better, but will the 1le perform just as good as it? and input would be appreciated

exactly, i would say if your stock one isnt ripped or torn up somehow, stay with it
unless you are going for underhood appearance or something the money can be better spent on or saved towards something else imo

I spray my 1LE with Eagle One: Wet and it looks good and shiny like the sidewalls of my tires. My stock elbow was torn and I couldn't justify paying almost 2x as much as the 1LE costs for a TF or Vortech elbow.

I have the Trick Flow on my car and think it is well worth it, it looks good and it won't get ripped.

Ditto. It should be the last elbow I ever have to buy.

I have the 1LE one and I hate it sooo much. It's really the ugliest thing under my hood, even when armor-alled, and I'm going with a vortech one if anything else, just for looks!

1LE=sucks

I've gone through a stock elbow, and 2 1LE ones as well. Time for a Trick Flow.

Get the Trick Flow. It might be more, but it will never rip and dang it looks good. When you pop the hood, it's the first thing to catch people's eye. It's the major bling bling. Hehe.

Have had all 3 and prefer the TFS to the others, mainly because it looks the best to me. I do alot of car shows and the TFS compliments my F1 CAI and the rest of the chrome/polished mods. Solamente mis dos centavos!!

I bought a TF and it sure does look good with a 58mm TB. They are right...first thing peeps see is that Elbow and it looks nice. Also its going to be tough to break that thing!
